thelarryproject Libriheavy test_clean_large Normalized for ASR

Built from the test_clean_large config of mythicinfinity/libriheavy at revision 784858eb1793bfcf2fd859f7a7ce2dae67dfe5f7.

One of Libriheavy's evaluation sets, filtered the same way as the Libriheavy ASR training index: 23,464 clips, 87.4 hours of the source's 107.5, from 72 speakers. The split is named train because the source names its only split that way; use it for evaluation.

Fields

id: Libriheavy's clip id
speaker_id: LibriVox reader id
librivox_book_id: LibriVox book id
audio: Arrow audio typed column of (bytes, path)
text_original: Libriheavy's transcript, with case and punctuation
text_normalized: the same text spelled out as spoken, in uppercase letters, apostrophes, and spaces (e.g. "Mr" -> MISTER)
duration_s: clip length in seconds, as given by the source
ctc_mismatch: how poorly the clip's audio matches its text, scored with facebook/wav2vec2-large-960h-lv60-self (lower is better)

Construction

The source's text_transcription column is dropped and audio_duration is renamed to duration_s. Removed:

clips shorter than 0.1 s or longer than 25 s
clips failing an audio quality check: overall level below -45 dBFS, speech in under 30% of frames, signal-to-noise ratio below 5 dB, or more than 0.1% of samples clipped
clips with ctc_mismatch above 0.5

See provenance.json for the producing commit, timestamp, and ancestry.

Known corrections

Known gaps

Not speaker-disjoint from Libriheavy's training data: 31 of the 72 speakers also appear in the large config
